Arctic Monkeys Wants To Befriend Take That

Drummer Matt Helders added to Q magazine: `I want to be friends with Gary Barlow.`

The ‘Brianstorm’ rockers – who branded the ‘Rule The World’ hitmakers “b*****ks” – admit they have had second thoughts about the reformed man band and want to spend more time with them.

Singer Alex Turner said: “I’ve met Mark Owen a couple of times since and he’s the nicest man in the world. I was badly behaved – he understood. “They went away and wrote ‘Shine’. That was the biggest ‘f**k you’ imaginable”.

Drummer Matt Helders added to Q magazine: “I want to be friends with Gary Barlow.”

Alex’s original comments came after Take That were awarded the Icon honour at the annual Q Awards.

He said: “A lot of people make jokes about having awards for no reason just for the sake of having awards, and pretending they were good when they weren't.

“I'm not old enough to know a lot of them, but even I know Take That were b*****ks."
